the different variants how they have evolved over the years. it s amazing, dr. fauci, we still, three years on don t know precisely how this started. you said most of the research, the peer-reviewed research shows that it was transmitted from a bat to an intermediary host and to humans starting a global pandemic. there are others who believe it leaked out of a lab in china. you said you have an open mind to that, you just want to see the data. why is it that we don t know. it strikes me as an important point to know for the future, why is it three years on, we don t know how this pandemic started? it s not that unusual. you know, the first covid, remember, the sars-cov-1, it took a while for us to nail down completely and unequivocally that in 2002, when we had that outbreak, it took a while of a few years to find out it was a bat to a civic cat which people
moment ago, it really follows a pattern that we ve known for some time, that about 70 to 75% of all the new emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, namely they jump from an animal species to a human. we saw that with hiv. we saw that with ebola. we see that with monkeypox. and we re seeing with this historic pandemic, the pandemic of covid-19, which almost certainly evolved the way sars-cov-2 sars-cov-1, from an animal environment from a bat, that jumped species. so if we want to pay attention to how we can mitigate this, we have to pay much more attention to the animal human interface and what we are doing doing intentionally or inadvertently or perturbing that animal/human in face by encroaching upon rain

New Delhi [India], August 6 (ANI/NewsVoir): O2 Cure, a renowned air purification solution provider under Zeco Aircon Limited, extended its support to ITC Hotels Group in providing a safe environment for its clients amidst and post-pandemic, by making its properties immune to airborne cross-infection such as flu, microbes, and viruses transmitted from one person to another. As per the association, Zeco Aircon has equipped more than 20 ITC Hotel properties in India with over 650 PHI-Cells (Photohydroionization Technology) to decontaminate 150 million ft of air. The RGF's (a US-based environmental design and manufacturing company) patented active purification PHI-Cell technology has been tested successfully on MRSA, Swine Flu-H1N1, Avian Flu, Norwalk, SARS-CoV-1, MERS, and SARS-CoV-2 viruses by 99 per cent and 97.48 per cent by the Bio-Analysis, USA and CCMB CSIR virology labs, India, respectively. This technology is capable of eliminating airborne pathogens. While airborne microbes s
